Seems like the device was absorbing the sun, which would impact what the device was enduring.

Also, Mr Cyborg literally states that the fission is exactly the same at the core:

The sun is smaller, yes, but the core - where the device is - is the same.

Literally says so in the comic:

Imagine your phone, Carv, and it's plugged into a tiny power bank, whilst also running games. It's recharging, but not enough to counter the drain from the game.

Result? Your phone dies. And in comics:

A 100,000 miles away and inertron and promethium was already starting to break down.

He mentions that his cells are charging. A normal sundip gives him powers he's even shocked at...

The results here are much slower since the sun was dying.

All this proves is that inertia isn't as indestructible as people thought. Again, the device was absorbing energy which kinda defeats the purpose if the sun was hitting it.

But not fast enough to counter the heat. Literally says so on panel.

So now you're saying the sun is powerful enough to destroy inertron and promethium, but at the same time, isn't powerful. Uhuh.

Dracula looking metal, fighting Silver Surfer, and Wolverine vs Spidey 2099:


"Creating Kryptonite from your ass in the middle of a fight"
Firestorm:" are you retarded?"

Also, it looks like even in the heart of the Sun, Kryptonians are fine even though they aren't at full power

And Superman, Supergirl, and Mon-El seem to beat a Kryptonian one-on-one casually

An example of how comic art can be misleading. Without the text, we wouldn't know that the entire fight takes place in an instant:

Kryptonians just fight on a different level of speed. Comic art doesn't show this accurately because every comic battle would be over in a single page.

You mean like your example?

Exactly.

Every fight would be over in a panel. Comics would be 1 page long. It would never happen.

An instant is hyperbole and has no credibility on how fast the fight truly was. It's a word that is always used.

Kryptonians cap out at around sub-B.

Which are speeds nearing but never quite reaching Batman.

But you understand the point?

That Spiderman has more combat super speed showings (and he does) if we look at consistency.

So you don't get the point. Ok.

The point I was making was that art does not necessarily show speed. Want to argue this?

Edit: Carver, hello!

Also, in the recent official Superman guidebook, it seems to agree my interpretation about how Superman overcome Metallo's Kryptonite attack

Which, sounds very close to what Superman was saying here
https://ibb.co/1MgxmKR

And the writer also seems to agree with my interpretation

Phillip: Well, at the end of this issue, and going into the next issue, we see a new expression of Superman’s power, which I’m really excited about. Since Superman’s exposure to the new white sun of Warworld. He’s been more powerful than than he’s ever been. We’ve seen him express that in a few different ways already, he can release his stored energy in these big, powerful bursts like explosions. Much like The Flash he’s phasing through solid objects much more easily and freely than he normally does. In Action Comics #1050, we saw him express his super speed in a way that was essentially teleportation. And in that issue, we also saw him extend his bio electric aura in a way that the power that gives him strength and flight we’ve seen him extend that now outside of his body. Similar to the way that was done in All Star Superman, using it to disassemble Luthor’s armour with just a touch. And now in this month’s issue, we see a new expression of his newfound power levels that I don’t think we’ve ever seen in comics before. Again loosely inspired by a moment from All Star Superman, but taken further, much further. And it definitely poses some questions about what Superman could really be capable of now, and I’m super excited about it.

The craziest part was Superman getting advantage on dozens of beings powerful enough to withstand the core of the sun lol however brief.

The ft comes from the person who saved Superman. Whatever he did to them knocked them off of Superman to the point that they had to regain their bearings. He did better than an amped Superman.

Lol he's Superman's equal, they explicitly say this later. Whoever he is.

The guy is Mon-El, Superman's big brother. He is stated to be Superman's equal in the exact same issue

"Mon's powers are the equal of mine"

Main point still being missed, I see.
